which is the best? windows 7 professional 32 bit or 64 bit?? why?? what's the difference between them?
-bit and 64-bit are computer architectures that specify the length of data types and addresses that are supported. [ What this means for the average user is how much memory can be used effectively and how powerful the number-crunching capacity of the CPU is.There are some situations in which you are better off using 32-bit Windows 7:
If you use only 2GB of RAM, and do not plan to upgrade anytime soon. To really take advantage of 64-bit Windows 7, you need minimum 4GB RAM.
You have legacy devices like scanners and printers that do not have 64-bit device drivers. 32-bit drivers are not
supported under 64-bit Windows 7, so you should make sure all the devices you need to use are compatible with 64-bit.
You run old 16-bit applications that were developed for Windows 3.1 or DOS. These won’t run under 64-bit Windows. ]
